A jar of Israeli heritage, carried forward by a family who built their life around fruit, memory, and the Holy Land. Aunt Berta’s pomegranate preserve is the continuation of a story that began over fifty years ago, when a Hungarian-Jewish immigrant named Berta settled in the Carmel region and tried to rebuild a taste of home. Without access to her old ingredients, she turned to what Israel offered: pomegranates ripening under Mediterranean sun, apples from local orchards, and the traditions she carried across continents. What she created in her kitchen became the foundation of a family craft that still endures today.

Every jar is made just a short drive from those orchards, in Zichron Ya’akov, where Berta’s children and grandchildren continue her method of slow cooking fruit in small batches. They remain committed to the simplicity Berta insisted on: clean fruit, natural pectin, and patience. The result is a preserve with the deep ruby color of fresh pomegranate arils and a balance of sweet and flavor that reflects the fruit Israel has been known for since biblical times.

Supporting this product brings you directly into the family’s story: a multigenerational Israeli effort to preserve roots and recipe. Your purchase helps sustain a producer that has grown from a refugee’s home kitchen into one of Israel’s most beloved artisanal brands.
